NEW YORK CITY GUIDE,
DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
New York City, renowned for its wealth, popiilation,
and commercial importance, is situated at the southern
extremity of an island, at the confluence of the Hudson
and East rivers. The latter bemg merely a strait con-
necting Long Island Sound with the Bay of New York.
Reckoning from the City HaU, its latitude is 40^
42' 43" N., and longitude 14° 00' 41" W. from Green-
wich; or 3° 1' 13" E. from the city of Wasliington.
It lies 145 miles s. from Albany, (the capital of the
state;) 398 miles s. from Montreal; 224 mdes s. w.
from Boston; Si mdes n. e. from Pliiladelphia ; 184
miles N.E. from Baltimore ; 224 mdes n.e. from Wash-
ington; 184 miles n.e. from Charleston, S. C; and
1,663 miles n. e. from New Orleans.
New York derives imrivalled advantages from its
position, being on one of the best harbors in the world,
and has facihties for mland communication unsurpassed,
perhaps, by those of any other city upon the globe.
The completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 gave a
8 NEW YOKK CITY GUIDE.
vast impetus to the trade and prospects of the city
generally, as through that avenue of communication,
assisted by the great lakes, the rich products of the
West find an easy transit to the commercial empo-
rium, which by the same channel returns, in exchange
the varied manufactm-es and luxuries not only of this'
section, but of Europe.
The completion of the New York and Erie Railroad
wiU also open to tliis city another avenue of immense
wealth, m shortening the distance, and giving new
facilities for ready communication with the great West
Each of the principal cities of the seaboard, aware, of
the vast benefits to be derived fi-om a participation in
this trade, is stretchii>g its iron arms yvith aU available
means, to secure for itself at least a share of its bene-
fits. For an example of this, we have but to direct our
attention to an enterprising sister city, with a popula-
tion not more than a third of our own, but possessed of
indomitable energy and ability to carry out her desio,!^
That great work, the Erie Canal, which cost the pecTple
of tins state millions of dollars, she has tapped at our
very capital, and drawn off a large share of the trade
that would otherAvise have reached New York.
It is not too late, however, to profit by the past •
the people of this city are now awake to their real in-
terests, and are pushing forward with determination
several unportant works. The New York and New
Haven Raib-oad, recently opened, unites it with the
entu-e and vast network of New England railways
The Hudson River and Harlem raih-oads, which are to
oonnect the metropolis with the state capital, wHl at
the latter, not only uiiite with the Erie Canal, and a

chain of railroads, but will fonn a connection with the
road lately completed to Lake Champlain, the great
thoroughfare to Canada. Branch roads will be extended
from the main line of the New York and Erie Railroad,
tapping the immense coal mines of Pennsylvania, which
will prove another source of wealth to the metropohs,
and effect a saving of expense in that important neces-
sary— fuel.
Tlie completion of the Somerville and Easton Rail-
road, wliich extends ffom near this place in a dhect
line across the state of New Jersey, intersecting the
improvements of Pemisylvania, will prove a powerful
means of enriching tliis city at the expense of Pliila-
delpliia, in the same manner that our advantages have
been so useful to oiu" eastern neighbors.
Besides the works of internal improvement we have
briefly nan-ated, there are now estabhshed several
lines of steamships, m addition to the numerous packets
and other vessels connecting tliis port with the princi-
pal ports of Europe, the West Indies, and our own
ports, incluchng our recently acquired, yet remote pos-
sessions on the Pacific. Such then are the advantages
with which enterprise and capital second our position.
Nothing human can prevent New York increasing
both in numbers and in wealth ; and she will continue
to sustain her position as the first city of the New
World.
The population at different periods has been as fol-
lows: in 1656 it was 1000; in 1697, 4,302; 1131,
8,622; 1750, 10,000; 1774, 22,750; 1800, 60,489;
1810,96,373; 1820, 123,706; 1830, 202,957; 1835,
270,089; 1840,312,710; 1845,371,232.
10 NEW YORK CITY GUIDE.
New York is among the commercial cities of the
world one of tlie most important, being sui'passed only
by London in the extent of its maritime trade. At
its wharves may be seen vessels from all parts of the
world, freighted with the rich products of domestic or
foreign industry — a number, at times, almost to exceed
beUef : eighteen hundred vessels, of all sizes, have been
counted lying at its wharves in the East and North
rivers. Tliis city, which is justly considered the com-
mercial emporium of the United States, pays more
revenue to the general government than that of all the
others.
The compact portion of the city is built on the south
end of the island, extending fi-om the Battery about
four miles, and enclosing a circmnference of closely-
packed buildings equal to about ten square miles. The
island is 13^ mUes long from n. to s., varying from half
a mile to somewhat more than two miles in width —
the greatest width being at 88tli street, where it is
over two miles wide. It is bounded on the e. by the
East and Harlem rivers, the former separating it
from Long Island ; on the w. by Hudson river, wliich
separates it from New Jersey ; and on the n. by Har-
lem river, a part of wliich, between Kingsbridge and
the Hudson, received from the Dutch the name of
Spuyten Duyvel Creek.
Constant commtmication between the city and its
rapidly increasing and picturesque suburbs, is kept up
by means of steam ferry-boats, the Harlem Railroad,
omnibuses, (fee. ; the fares being extremely moderate,
with accommodations not excelled by similar convey-
ances of any other city.
NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. H
Tlie. hay and harbor of New York may be classed
among the most convenient and beautiful in the world ;
the banks are bold, and the bay interspersed with
Kome handsome islands. The city and surrovmding land,
when viewed from the bay m approacliing the city,
present a scene truly charming and picturesque, and
excite general athnu-ation. The harbor extends eight
miles s. of the city to the " Narrows," and is about 25
miles in circumference, being sufficiently capacious to
contain the united navies of the world. The outer
harbor, or bay, extends from the NaiTows to Sandy
Hook, where is a hghthouse, at the distance of 18 miles
from the city. The water is of sufficient depth to float
the heaviest vessels, and sliips of war of the largest
size liave anchored opposite the city. On the bar at
Sandy Hook there is a depth of water at high tide of
2^7 feet, and at low water of 21 feet; from thence to
the city the channel has a depth of from 40 to 50 feet.
In the harbor adjoining the city are Governor's,
Bedlow's, and Ellis's Islands, on aU of which are strong
fortifications. The first, which is the most important
of the three, mcludes 70 acres of gromrd, and is situ-
ated 3,200 feet from the Battery. It has Fort Colum-
bus in'the centre, and on its n. e. point Castle William,
a round tower 600 feet in cfrcamference and 60 feet
high, with three tiers of gmis. There is also a batteiy
on the N. w. side, commandmg the entrance through
Buttermilk- Chamiel, a strait which separates it from
Brooklyn, L. I. Besides these fortifications, the harbor
of New York is well defended by smiilar works on
Bedlow's and Ellis's Islands ; at the Narrows, on the
Long Island shore, by Fort Hamilton and Fort La-
12 NEW YORK CITY GUIDE.
fajette, (formerly called Fort Diamond,) wliicli is built
on a reef of rocks, about two hundred yards from the
shore ; and on Staten Island, opposite, by forts Tomp-
kins and Richmond. The Narrows here is about one-
third of a mile wide. The entrance from the Sound
on the East River is defended by Fort Schuyler, on
Throg's Neck. In the East River are Blackwell's
Island, Great Barn Island, and Randell's Island, all of
which are attached to the city, and upon the former is
located the penitentiary.
The first settlement of New York was made at the
southern extremity of the city ; hence many of the
streets in that section afe nan-ow and crooked, no regu-
lar order having been observed in laying them out.
In later times many of them have been widened and
iiiiproved, at a great expense. The streets in tlie
northern part of the city are laid out straightly, and
some of them are of considerable width. Many of the
most splendid mansions and places of religious worship
of wliich the city can boast, are to be seen in tliis
quarter. The most elegant and fashionable street is
Broadway, which traverses the city in a straight line
from N. to s., being 2^ miles long and 80 feet broad-
It is occupied by many splendid stores, elegant houses,
and public buildings, and few streets in the world
equal it in the splendor and bustle it exliibits. It is
also the great promenade of the city, being much re-
sorted to in pleasant weather by the gay and fashion-
able.
NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. 13
PUBLIC WALKS, SQUARES, &c.
The Battery, wliich contains about 1 1 acres, is situ-
ated at the extreme s. end of the city, at the com-
mencement of Broadway, and is planted with trees
and kid out in gravelled wallcs. From this place is a
delightful view of the harbor and its islands, of the
numerous vessels arriving and departing, of the ad-
jacent shores of JS'ew Jersey, and of Staten and Long
islands.
Castle Garden, comiected with the Battery by means
of a bridge, is used for public meetings and exliibitions,
and is capable of contauiing witliin its walls 10,000
persons. Since the destruction of Niblo's Garden by
fire (Sept. 1846) the fahs of the American Institute,
which were formerly held there, have been removed to
this caj^acious place.
The Bowling Green, situated near the Battery, and
at the commencement of Broadway, is of an oval form,
and sm-roimded by an iron railing. Witliin its enclosm-e
is a fomitain, the water from wliich, falling upon a rude
pile of rocks, about 15 feet m height, forms a pretty
artificial cascade.
The Park is a triangular enclosm-e situated about
the centre of the city, and has an area of 11 acres:
it contains the City Hall and other pubhc buildings.
It is embellished in its south part with a superb foun-
tain, the basin of wliich is 100 feet in diameter. In
the centre of the basin is a piece of work m the shape
of an Egyptian lily. Tlirough convex hon plates, with
numerous perforations, placed arovmd the base of this

•work, the water is projected into the air, and falls in
the form of a heavy mist, around a column that rises
to a considerable height, through the midst of the
green leaves of the lotus. When the sun is shining
full upon the fountain the effect is extremely pleasing,
from the number of muiiatm-e rainbows then observable.
The basin is enchcled by a neat coping of white marble.
Sixteen feet beyond the coping the whole is again sur-
romided by a pretty and substantial raihng of iron —
the mtermediate space being decorated with various
kmds of handsome shrubbery.
St. John's Park, m Hudson-square, is beautifully
laid out m walks, with shade trees, and is kept in ex-
cellent order. Subscribers only are allowed the privi-
lege of visiting tliis enclosiu-e. The hon railing wliich
svu-rounds it cost about -^26,000.
Washington Square, or Parade Ground, is in the
N. part of the city, and contains about 1 2 acres. It is
now a beautiful place of resort, and has of late under-
gone great miprovement. An elegant u'on fence is to
supersede the antiquated wooden one which has sur-
roimded it for many years past, the Common Council
having recently appropriated -$25,000 for that purpose.
For yeai's tliis spot, now devoted to pleasm-e, was the
Potter's Field, the general receptacle of the indigent
and strangers, after the shackles of life had been
thrown off.
Union Square is situated at the termination of
Broadway. It is of an oval form, enclosed with an
iron railing, and its centre ornamented with a hand-
some foimtain.

Square, in the n. e, part of the city, are handsomely
laid out in walks, and planted with shade trees and
shnibbery. They are both surrounded with a neat
railing, Stuyvesant' Square is on the 2d Avenue, be-
tween 15th and llth streets. There are other squares
fiu'ther up — Madison, Hamilton, (fee, wliich are ex-
tensive, but at present unimproved. In the latter
square, which is about six miles from the City Hall, it
is proposed to erect the Wasliington Monmnent.
CHURCHES.
By an enumeration recently made, it appears that
there are in New York city about 222 churches, inclu-
ding all denominations, many of wliich are neat and
commodious, wloile some are of a magnificent and costly
nature. Among the latter must be mentioned the new
Trinity Church, which for beauty of arcliitectm-e, be-
ing the best specimen of pm-e Gotliic, stands imrivalled
among its kind in the country. It is built throughout
of a fine reddish sandstone, prepared in the best man-
ner, is without galleries, and capable of seating with
comfort 800 persons. It is 189 feet long, 84 wide, and
64 liigh ; the height of the tower, including the spire,
is 264 feet. The entire cost is stated at about ^400,000.
The tower contains a cliime of bells and a clock. In
the graveyard adjoining the chm'ch may be seen the
monuments of Hamilton, Lawi'ence, and others, who
occupy an enviable distinction in the history of the
country. Trinity Church is the oldest and richest
Episcopal society in America ; she annually devotes a
16 NEW YORK CITY GUIDE.
large portion of her vast income to the erection and
support of churches tliroughout the state. Her cor-
poration, or vestry, whose business it is to conduct the
affairs of the church, is composed of men of high stand-
ing in society, and who are usually characterized as
being just and liberal in their official capacity.
The following is a brief history of the origin of this
church. The first religious services of tliis society (at
that time knoAvn as tlie " Church of England in Amer-
ica") -were held in a small chapel wliich stood near the
Battery. The rapid uicrease of the congregation made
it necessary to erect a larger and more commodious
edifice, which was done in 1696, during the reign of
William III. and Mary. It was first opened for divine
service in February, 1697, by the Rev. Mr. Vesey,
Rector of New York. In 1735 it was found necessary
to make an addition at its e. end, and two years after-
wards it was again enlarged on the n. and s. sides.
Tliis building was 146 feet long and 72 wide, with an
ornamented steei^le 180 feet liigh. Dunng the awful
conflagration of the city in Sept., 1776, this spacious
edifice was entirely destroyed, and remained a heap of
ruins dm-ing the Revolutionary war. " From the size
and height of this noble structure, from the simple style
of its architecture, from the lofty trees which em-
bosomed it, and the graves and monuments of the dead
which surrounded it on every side, it presented to the
spectator a striking object of contemplation, and im-
pressed him with ideas connected with reverence." At
the close of the war it was again rebuilt, and conse-
crated in 1790 by Bishop Provost. This edifice was
not as spacious as the one destroyed, it being only 104
NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. 17
feet long and '72 feet wide, with a steeple about 200
feet high. In 1839 tliis building was taken down, and
tJie present magnilicent edifice erected in its place.
Trinity Tower. — Visiters have access to the tower
of Trinity Church, it beuig open to the pubhc, except
when the building is occupied for religious purposes.*
Tliis tower affijrds one of the most splendid panoramic
vicAvs to be seen on this continent Ascendmg the
stairway we reacli a landing, on a level with the ceiling
of the chm-ch, from which there is a complete view of
the elegant interior. Ascending another flight, we
reach the belfry, where the bells forming the cliime ai-e
deposited, which p.o frequently ring out then- sweetly
solemn peal. Plere, on the outside, smTovmded by a
strong railiug, is a balcony, affording a view of the city.
On ascending still liigher, one of the most superb views
greets the beiiolder. The city, full of hfe and anima-
tion, lies, as it were, at his feet, wliile far and wide, in
every tUi-eetion, the country, the rivers, the islands —
cities and villages — are spread out before him, arrayed
in all the attractions with which natm-e and art have
invested them.
St. Paul's Church, in Broadway, between Vesey
and Fultoxa streets, was among the first Episcopal
churches erected m the city. Its exterior has rather a
venera])le look, although its mterior has recently been
somewhat modernized. The spke is 234 feet high. In
the front part of the chm'ch is a slab of wliite mai'ble,
upon which is an inscription in remembrance of Gen.
Montgomery, who fell at Quebec in 1775, and whose

remains were brought to New York and interred be-
neath tliis monument in 1820. In the churchyard ad-
joining is an elegant monument, erected to the memory
of Thomas Addis Emmet, an eminent counsellor at
law, and brother of the mifortunate Irish orator, Robert
Emmet. The phnth of the monument is one entire
block, seven feet square and 12 inches thick. The
Egyptian obelisk standing on this base is also in a
single piece, and is about 32 feet high. The face to-
wards Broadway is embellished with the American
eagle sheltering a harp imstrung, with a medaUion
likeness of Emmet, and two clasped hands, having
stars around one wrist and shamrocks around the
other, with an English inscription. On the north side
is a Latin, and on the south is an Irish inscription.
There are other churches in the city deserving of a
separate description, but the hmits of the present work
will not allow of it.
The following is the number of cliurches of each de-

elegance, is 216 feet long, 105 wide, and, including the
attic story, 65 high. The front and the ends are of

which rises a cupola, containing a clock, and on the top
a statue of Justice. The upper part of this cupola is
occupied by a person, whose business it is to give
alarm in cases of fire; from the elevated position of
which he is able to overlook tlie whole city. The
" City HaU Bell," whose deep and solemn tones but too
frequently sound the knell of destruction, and which,
by the successive number of strokes, indicates tlie dis-
trict of the city in which a fire occurs, is under a less
elevated cupola, directly behind the former. In this
buildhig are 28 oflices, and other public rooms, the
principal of whicli is the C4overnor's room, a splemUd
apartment appropriated to the use of that functionary
on his visiting the city, and occasionally to that of
other distinguislied individuals. The walLs of this room
are cmbellislied with a fine collection of portraits of
men celel^rated in the civil, military, or naval history
of the country. It is 52 feet long by 20 f.et wide. In
the Common Council room is the identical chair occu-
pied by Washmgtonwhen President of the first Ameri-
can Congress, wliich assembled in tliis city. This room
also contains some fine full-length portraits, by Trum-
buU, among which is one of Washington, when in the
prime of life, wliich is tliought to be the best in exist-

THE CROTON WATER WORKS.
Tlie building of this great \rork was decided on at
the city charter election of 1835, and on the 4th of
July, 1842, it \vas so far completed that the -water was
let into the Resen'oir, and on the 14th of October fol-
lowing it was brought into the city. The whole cost
will be about $14,000,000, more than double the origi-
nal estimate. Between the Distributing Reservoir in
Fortieth-st. and the Battery, up to August, 1847, 171
miles of pipe were laid, from 6 to 36 inches in diame-
ter.
The aqueduct commences five miles from the Hud-
eon, and is about 40 miles from the City HaU. The
dam, which is 250 feet long, 70 feet wide at the bot-
tom, and 7 at the top, and 40 feet high, is built of stone
and cement A pond five miles in length is created
by the dam, covering a surface of 400 acres, and con-
taining 500,000,000 gallons of water. From the dam
the aqueduct proceeds, sometimes timnelling through
solid rocks, crossing valleys by embankments, and
brooks by culvei-ts, vmtil it reaches Harlem river. It
is built of stone, brick, and cement, arched over and un-
der ; is 6 feet 3 inches wide at the bottom, 7 feet 8
inches at the top of the side walls, and 8 feet 5 inches
high; has a descent of 13^ inches per mile, and will
dischai-ge 60,000,000 of gallons in 24 hours. It crosses
Harlem river on a magnificent bridge of stone, termed
the " High Bridge," 1,450 feet long, with 14 piers, 8 of
them 80 feet span, and 6 of 50 feet span, 114 feet
above tidewater to the top, and which cost about
1900,000. The Receiving Reservoir is at 86th-st. and

6th avenue, covering tlm-tj-five acres, and containing
150,000,000 gallons of water. Persons wisliing to \dsit
the High Bridge will take the cars of the Harlem Rail-
road to Harleni, Fare.lli^ cents ; at which place a st<ige

with pure and wholesome water than New York ; and
the supply would be abundant if the population were
five times its present number.
The most convenient mode of visiting the Distribu-
ting Reservoir in 40th-st., or the Receiving Reservoir in

utes during the day. Fare 12^ cts.

PLACES IN THE VICmiTY OF NEW YORK.
Brooklyn, the second city in the state of New York
for population, is situated at the w. end of Long Island,
opposite the city of New York, from which it is sepa-
rated by the East River. The communication between
the two places is rendered easy and convenient hj Jive
steam-ferries, viz. : The Fulton Ferry, (which is by far
the greatest thoroughfare,) South Ferry, Catharine
Ferry, Jackson, or Navy Yard Ferry, and the Hamilton
Avenue Ferry. Two new ferries are about to be es-
tablished— the Mo7itagiie and the Bridge-st. ferries, the
former ior foot passengers only.
The Fidton Ferry boats, and also those on the Cath-
arine Ferry, run day and night. The boats on the
Soutli Fei-ry run fi-om 4^ a. m. to 12^ p. m. The price
on each ferry is tioo cents for foot passengers ; cliildren
half price. Commuters are charged $10 per amium.
The crossing to and fro, on both the Fulton and South
ferries, especially mornings and evenings, is so great as
to strike a stranger with astonishment Tlii-ee boats
constantly ply at the same time on each, and the time
occupied is usually from four to six minutes.
Brooklyn is laid out with considerable regularity, the
streets, with the exception of Fulton, being generally
straight, and crossing each other at right angles. Many
of them are shaded with fine trees, which, in the sum-
mer season, unpart to the city the freslmess and gayety
of a country town. It is this, with the pmity of its at-
mosphere, and the faciUties afforded for reaching the
great metropolis, that has made this place increase sp
66 KEW YORK CITY GUIDE.
rapidly in -vrealth and population. Most of the houses
are well built, and many are distinguished for chaste-
ness and elegance of arcliitectural design.
The ground on wliich the city is built is more eleva-
ted than the opposite shore. The " Heights," on the
East River, present a bold front, 70 feet above tide-
water, affording a delightful view of Xew York, its
harbor, the islands in the bay, and the shore of Xew
Jersey.
The shores, where not defended by wharves, under-
go continual and rapid changes by the velocity of the
current in the East River. Governor's Island was for-
merly coimected with Brooklyn at Red Hook Pomt ;
and previous to the Revolution, cattle were diiven from
the Hook to the Island, then separated by a narrow
and shallow passage called Buttermilk Channel, which
is now wide and deep enough for the passage of mer-
chant vessels of the largest size.
Brooklyn was incorporated as a village in April,
1806, and as a city, with greatly extended hmits, on
the 8th of April, 1834. It is divided into nine wards,
and is governed by a mayor and a board of 18 alder-
men, two from eacli ward, annually elected.
The population of Brookl}Ti increased from 1830 to
1840, at the rate of 57 per cent, for each five years, and
from 1840 to 1845, it was 64 per cent. The latter rate,
if appUed to 1850, will produce an aggregate popula-
tion of 95,523 ; in 1855, 153,377. At the present time
(1849) it may be placed at 85,000. The taxable prop-
erty in 1847 amounted to $29,365,189, and the amount
of taxes the same year was within a fraction of
$250,000.

The United States Navy Yard is situated on the s.
side of Wallabout Bay, in the northeastern part of
Brooklyn, and occupies about 40 acres of gi'ound, en-
closed on the land side by a high wall. There are here
two large sliip-houses for vessels of the largest class,
with workshops, and every requisite necessary for an
extensive naval depot. The United States Naval Ly-
ceum, an interesting place, also in the Navy Yard, is a
literary institution, formed in 1833, by officers of the
navy connected with the port. It contains a splendid
collection of curiosities, and mineralogical and geologi-
cal cabinets, with numerous other valuable and curious
tilings worthy the inspection of the visiter. On the
opposite side of the Wallabout, half a mile east of the
Navy Yard, is the Marine Hospital, a fuae building,
erected on a commanding situation, and suiToimded by
upwards of 30 acres of well-cultivated ground.
At the Wallabout were stationed the Jersey and

other prison-ships of the English during the Revolu-
tionary war, in which it is said 11,500 American pris-
oners perished from bad air, close confinement, and
ill-treatment. In 1808, the bones of the sufferers,
which had been washed out from the bank where they
had been slightly buried, were collected, and deposited
in 13 coffins, inscribed with the names of the 18 original
states, and placed in a vaidt beneath a wooden building
erected for the purpose, in Hudson Avenue, opposite
Front-st., near the Navy Yard.
The U. S. Dry Dock at Brooklyn Navy Yard. —
This immense national work which is now in process of
construction at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, will, for
strength, magnitude, and mechanical skill, surpass any
similar work in the country. It is to be completed
and ready for vessels by the 1st July, 1850. The en-
th-e cost is estimated at $^ 1,45 0,000.
The foundation is 400 feet in length by 114 in width,
and rests on 8,283 piles, averaging 16 inches in diame-
ter and 32:^ feet long. The tops of these piles are
wedged into one sohd mass by a tilling of concrete, and
by a layer of heavy pine timber trunneled upon them.
Over this are alternate layers of timber fastened in the
most solid manner and filled in with concrete, 12,000
tons of which are used for tliis purpose — the whole
forming a foundation of 8 feet, upon which rests the
granite bed of the Dock, 5 feet thick. The bottom of
the chamber is 276 feet long by SO feet wide.
The chamber of the Dock will be 307 feet long and
98 feet wide at the top, with 26 feet of water on the
mitre sills (against which the gates close) at mean high
tide. The least width between the quoins of the
NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. 7l
Bwinging gates is 66 feet ; and taking the whole length
to the outer floating gate, a vessel 340 feet between
her perpendiculars, and 66 feet in width, can be docked.
The entrance upon the East River will be closed by
a floating gate, between wliich and the massive swing-
ing gates there is a chamber between 30 and 40 feet ia
length, in which the latter move, closing against a mitre
sill of inmiense blocks of granite. These form a hori-
zontal arch, supported by the foundation and the in-
verted elliptical arch of the head of the Dock. Imme-
diately witliin, on either side, are the discharging cul-
verts, wliich extend the whole length of the Dock to
the rear, where they unite and will communicate with
the pimips of the steam-engine. The floor of the Dock
descends 15 inches towards the mouth of the culverts.
The entire quantity of masonry m the Dock will
amovint to 68,000 tons. It will hold 600,000 cubic feet
of water, wliich it is calculateil to pump out in three
liours. The engine-house and macliine-shop, not yet
built, will be 300 feet in length, containing a Cornish
engine of the largest kind, having 12 feet stroke, and
working fom* pumps of 50 niches diameter. The fiUing
culverts have the same entrance into the Dock as the
discharging ones, and extend through the masonry to
the river, which they strike just below low-water mark.
The Atlantic Dock, about a mile below the South
Ferry, is a very extensive work, and worthy the atten-
tion of strangers. The Hamilton Avenue Ferry, near
the Battery, lands its passengers close by. The com-
pany was mcorporatcd in May, 1840, with a capital
of $1,000,000. The basin witlun the piers contains 42^
acres, with sufficient depth of water for the largest

ships. The piers are fumislied \dth many spacious
Btone -vrarehouses.
G-reenwood Cemetery is in the s. part of Brooklyn, at
Gowanus, about three miles from the Fulton Ferry, at
vhich place visiters take the stages, which leave hourly,
for the Cemetery. Fare 12^ cents. Aiipther way to
Greenwood is by the new ferry at Wliitehall, which
lands its passengers in the vicinity of the Cemetery, on
a pier of great length jutting out from the shore : car-
riages run from the landing-place to the Cemetery,
carr}dng passengers at a trifling charge.
This Cemetery was incorporated m 1838, and con-
tains 24:2 acres of ground, about one-half of which is
covered with wood of a natural growth. It originally
contained 172 acres, but recently 70 more have been
added by pvirchase, and brought witliin the enclosvu-e.
Free entrance is allowed to persons on foot during
week-days, but on the Sabbath none but proprietors of
lots and their families, and persons with them, are ad-
mitted; otlters than proprietors can obtain a permit
for carriages on week-days. Tliese grounds have a
varied surface of liills, valleys, and plains. The eleva-
tions afford extensive views ; that from Ocean Hill,
near the western line, presents a wide range of the
ocean, with a portion of Long Island. Battle Hill,
in the x. w., commands an extensive view of the cities
of Brooklyn and New York, the Hudson river, the
noble bay, and of New Jersey and Staten Island.
From the other elevated grounds in the Cemetery
there are fine prospects. Greenwood is traversed by
winding avenues and paths, which afford visiters an
opportunity of seeing this extensive Cemetery, if suf-

ficient time is taken for the purpose. Several of the
monuments, original in their design, are very beautiful,
and cannot fail to attract the notice of strangers. Those
of the Iowa Indian princess, Dohumme, and the " mad
poet," McDonald Clarke, near the Sylvan "Water, are
admirable.
Visiters by keeping the main avenue, called The
Tour, as indicated by guide-hoards, will obtain the best
general view of the Cemetery, and wiU be able again
to reach the entrance without difficulty. Unless this
caution be observed, they may find themselves at a
loss to discover their way out. By paying a little at-
tention, however, to the grounds and gviide-boards, they
will soon be able to take other avenues, many of which
pass through grounds of peculiar interest and beauty.
" In Greenwood, are quiet deUs, nestling Uttle lakes
in their bosoms, shaded by locusts and wiUows from
the sun, made cool by the sea breezes, and musical
by the songs of birds ; or you may loiter in a village
of graves, as it were, with hundreds of visiters, like
vourself. poring over sculptm-ed tokens of affection,"
These delightful groimds now attract much attention,
and have already become a place of great resort, and
they will continue yearly to attract additional crowds
of AT.siters. as their beauties become more generally
known, and the ties more extended that bind many in
the surrounding covmtry and neighboring cities, to the
once-loved — not, to the eyes of Faith and Affection,
dead, but sleeping — fonns of those who lie in this
beautiful resting-place of the departed.

as Brooklyn, has become the residence of nmnbers doing
business in New York, is increasing rapidly in wealth
and population. At the present time its population is
not less than 15,000. It is connected with New York
by tlu-ee steam-ferries, the boats on wliich ply at regu-
lar intervals. The ferriage is from d to 4 cents each
way.
Astoria, a flourishing village six miles n. e. of tlie
city, has a fine location, being situated on the East
River near " Hurl Gate." It has become a favorite
residence for persons from New York.
Flushing, at the head of Flusliing Bay, five miles
from Long Island Soimd by water, and nine miles from
the Cit}^ Hall, New York, is a favorite place of resort
for the inliabitants of that city and of Brookl;)Ti. The
ride from the latter place is delightful : from the for-
mer it is reached by steamboat, one plying between the
two places at regular hitervals, — affording, dming the
summer season, a delightful, though short, aquatic ex-
cm-sion to one of the most inviting places in the vicinity
of the city. Fluslung is celebrated for its nm-series,
and tliousands are every season attracted tliither, who
love to revel among the beautiful creations of the Floral

formerly cultivated by his father mider that appella-
tion, and which gained such celebrity during liis Hfe-
time, is the one now owned by Winter <fe Co. The
trees, <fec., the produce of these gardens, are in demand,
not only for every part of the Union, but also for
Europe. Visiters have free access to these gardens on
all days, [Sundays excepted.)
Jamaica, situated on the railroad, and on the turn-
pike road leading from Brooklyn to Hempstead, is a
neat and pleasant village, approached by roads running
through a district highly cultivated, and richly adorned
with productive farms and splendid comitry-seats. Tliis
village is a great resort for persons from the neighbor-
ing cities, the railroad rendering the communication
easy and convenient.
RocKAWAY Beach, a celebrated and fashionable
watermg-place, on the Atlantic sea-coast, is in a s. e.
direction from New York. The Marine Pavilion, a
splendid estabhshment, erected in 1834, upon the beach,
a short distance from the ocean, is fm-nished m a style
befitting its object as a place of resort for gay and
fixsliionable company. There is another hotel here
which is well kept; also several private boarding-
houses, where the visiter, seeking pleasure or health,
may enjoy the invigorating ocean breeze, with less
parade and at a more reasonable cost than at the
hotels. The best route to Rockaway is by the Long
Island Railroad to Jamaica, 12 miles, 25 cents; thence
by stage eight miles, over an excellent road, to the
beach, 50 cents.
Flatbush, about five miles fi'om Brooklyn, Flat-

LANDS eight, Gravesend, ten miles, are small but hand-
some places. The shores of the latter place abound
with clams, oysters, and water-fowl, and are much re-
sorted to.
Coney Island, belonging to the town of Gravesend,
is five miles long and one broad, and is situated about
1 2 miles from New York. It has a fine beach fronting
the ocean, and is much frequented for sea-batliing. On
the N. side of the Island is an hotel. Steamboats ply
regularly between the city and Coney Island during
the summer season. Fare 12^ cents each way.
FoKT Hamilton, one of the fortifications for protect-
hig the harbor of New York, is situated at the " Nar-
rows," about seven miles from New York. There is
here an extensive hotel or boarding-house, for the ac-
commodation of visiters. The Coney Island boat stops
at Fort Hamilton to land and receive passengers.
Fare 12^ cents.
Bloomingdale is a neat village, five miles from the
City Hall, on the left bank of the Hudson. Here is the
Orphan Asylum. Manhattanville, two miles north of
the latter place, contains the Lunatic Asylimi, which
occupies a commanding situation,
YoRKviLLE is five miles n. of the City Hall : the cars
pass through it many times daily. In this vicinity is
the Receiving Reservoir of the Croton Water-works,
containing 85 acres, enclosed by a high, substantial
wall,
Harlem, eight miles from the City Hall, is a suburb
of New York, and is quite a manufacturing place. It
can be reached from the city by the cars, many times
daily. Harlem was founded by the Dutch, m 1658,

with a view to the amusement and recreation of the
citizens. The following is from an ancient Dutch rec-
ord " The Governor and Council, desirous to form a
ne-w village at the end of Manliattan Island, proposed
to settlers grants of land of 45 acres each, at 13 shil-
lings the acre, free from tithes for 10 years, and to as-
sign 15 soldiers for their defence; to erect a sub-court
of justice when there should be 25 families established;
to provide a clergyman, half of whose salary should be
paid by the government ; and to make a road to the
city by the company's negroes."
Jersey City is situated on the west bank of Hudson
River, opposite New York, and is connected with that
city by a steam-ferry, over a mile in length, the boats
on which are constantly plying. According to the cen-
sus of 1843, its population was 3,750, bemg an increase
of 700 smce 1840. At the present time (1849) it is
about 12,000. It has become an unportant place, as a
diverging point for the great routes connecting the
Nortli with the South. It is also the starting-place of
the Paterson Railroad, which has its depot here. The
Morris Canal, uniting the Delaware and Hudson rivers,
and which is 101 miles long, terminates at tliis place.
Jersey City is now the station for the new line of
British steamships sailing between New York and Liv-
erpool. The Cunard dock, built at the foot of Grand-
st, cost upwards of $80,000.
Newark, 9 miles from Jersey City, 51 from Trenton,
and 78 from Philadelpliia, is situated on the Passaic
river, and is the most populous and flom-isliing place
in the state of New Jersey, At the present time (1849)
it contains 30,000 people. The city, which is elevated

some 40 feet above the river, is regularly laid out -with
broad and straight streets, many of wliich are bordered
by lofty and elegant shade-trees, and contains two
large and handsome public squares. It is well built,
and presents a very fine appearance, many of the
dwellings being large, and finished in a superior style.
The courthouse, in the north part of the city, is built of
brown freestone, in the Egyptian style of architecture.
The city is well supplied with pm-e Avater, brought
from a copious spring more than a mile distant.
N'ewark contains numerous churches, some of which
have great architectural beauty, three banks, an ap-
prentices' library, a circulating hbrary, with literary
and scientific institutions, tfec. It is very extensively
engaged in manufactures, a great part of which is sent
to distant markets. In 1840, the capital invested in
this species of industiy amounted to upwards of
$1,500,000. In two articles alone, that of carriages and
leather, there was '?500,000 invested, employing many
hundreds of workmen. The commerce of Newark is
also considerable, there being owned here upwards of
10 vessels, of 100 tons each. The Morris Canal i-uns
through the city. The cars of the New Jersey Rail-
road, on the route between New York and Pliiladel-
phia, pass tlu-ough it twice daily, in each direction, and
those also fi-om Jersey City arrive and depart several
times daily. Fare 25 cents, A steamboat also pUes
between Newark and New York.
Elizabethtown, on the New Jersey Railroad, 5 miles
from Newark, 14 from New York, and 46 from Tren-
ton, is situated on a creek, 2^ miles from its entrance
into Staten Island Sound. It is a beautiful town, regu-

larly laid out with broad streets, and contains a com-t-
liouse and other public buildings, with saw-mills, oil-
cloth factories, tanneries, &c. Population about 3,000.
The railroad from Elizabethport to Somerville passes
tln-ough tliis place. It extends 26 miles to Somerville,
which is 40 miles from I^ew York.
Rahway, situated on both sides of Rahway river,
contains about 2,500 inliabitants, and several manufac-
turing establislmients, wliich are in daily operatioa
The manufactures consist of silk prmting, carriages and
can-iage furnitm-e, hats, shoes, clocks, earthenware, and
cotton goods.
N'ew Brunswick, 31 miles from New York, 29 from
Trenton, and 56 from Philadelphia, is situated at the
head of steamboat navigation on the Raritan river, and
15 miles from its entrance into Raritan Bay at Amboy,
by the com-se of the river. Tliis is the seat of Rutgers
College and school, fouiaded in 1770. The streets on
the river are narrow and crooked, and the ground low ;
but those on the upper bank are wide, and many of
the dwellings are very neat and elegant, smrounded by
fine gardens. From the site of Rutgers College on the
liill, there is a wide prospect, terminated by mountains
on the north, and by Raritan Bay on the east. The
Delaware and Raritan Canal extends from New Bruns-
wick to Bordentown on Delaware river. It is 75 feet
wide and seven deep, admitting the passage of sloops
of 76 or 100 tons burden, is 42 males long, and has 14
locks, and 117 feet of lockage, the locks being 110
feet long and 24 wide. The entire cost was about
$2,500,000.
Staten Island, the landing-place at which is about

five miles from New York, and fronting the Quarantine
Ground, has a fine situation, commanding a splendid
view of the beautiful bay, Long Island, &:c. There are
here hotels and boarchng-houses, for the reception of
visiters. Steamboats leave New York several times
daUy, from the foot of Wliitehall-st., at the Battery.
J^are 12 J cents. iWw Brighton, Port Richmond, and
tlie Sailor's Snug Harbor, an asylum for superannuated
seamen, are situated on the north part of the Island-
Steamboats leave daily from the foot of Battery Place.
Long Branch, situated on the eastern coast of New
Jersey, 32 miles from the city of New York, is a popu-
hir place of resort for those fond of seashore recreation,
and where a pure and invigorating atmosphere is al-
ways to be found.
The Ocean House, a hotel of the first order, a i^^hort
distance north from Long Branch, is a place where,
during the oppressive heat of smmner, a greater degree
of real comfort can be enjoyed than, perhaps, at the
more fasliionable watermg-places. The sea-breeze,
which is constant here as well as at Long Branch, and
the convenient sm'f-bathing, have an almost magic
effect in restoring the exhausted energies of the human
frame ; wliile a view of that grandest of objects, the
Ocean, which is here spread out before you — now gen-
tly undulating in dalliance with the breeze, and now
upheaved by the tempest — has an equally salutary
effect on the arimal spirits. There is admh'able sport
in this vicinity for the angler. The Shrewsbury river
on the one side, and the ocean on the other, swarm
with aU the delicate varieties of fish with which our
markets abound.
NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. 81
Shrewsbury, Red Bank, and Tinton Falls, in the
vicinity of the above, are also places of great re-
sort.
HoBOKEN, a populajr place of resort for the citizens
of New York, is situated on tlie Jersey shore opposite
to that city. The walks, which are shaded by trees,
extend for about two miles along the bank of the river,
terminating with the Elysian Fields.
Weehawkex, on the Jersey side, is about two miles
north from Hoboken.
Bull's Ferrv, six miles from New York, is a place
of considerable resort during the smnmer season. It is
connected with New York by a ferry. Fare 12^ cents.
Fort Lee, on the west side of. the river, 10 miles
dbove the city, is situated on the brow of the Palisades.
The fort — the site of which is about 300 feet above the
water — ^was the scene of important mihtary operations
during the Revolutionai-y war. A large body of Ameri-
can militia stationed liere, in attempting to retreat,
were overpowered by a vastly superior foi'ce, consist-
mg chiefly of Hessians, when they were either slain or
consigned to the prison-sliip — a fate more terrific than
deatli itself. A ferry connects it witli New York.
Fare \1\ cents.
Pateuson, an important manufactm-ing town, is situ-
ated in New Jersey, on the Passaic river, near the
great foils. By a dam in the river, four and a half feet
high, and a canal around tlie falls, a vast water-power
is created, sufficient for the supj^ly of numerous manu-
factories. Tlie Morris Canal passes a little to the south
of the city. The Faftsaic Falls are celebrated for their
picturesque beauty. The ar.aouiat of water, however.
